How did I miss this post?! I have a duty here as a fujo/dan. *rolls up sleeves*
Doukyuusei: This one is a movie. It was the first BL anime that I watched and actually liked. Devoured the manga after.
Given (Season 1): This was a turning point in my relationship with BL. Before this anime, I had only really read/watched old-school rapey BL, so I thought it was always like that (with the exception of Doukyuusei, which I thought was a one-off). This series showed me that BL was much more than that, even though it gets a bad rep.
Yarichin Bitch Bu: What can I say 😅 It’s definitely not for everyone, but I enjoy it because of how crazy and ridiculous it is. Plus it helped me find my #4 pick…
Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai: The quality of this adaptation is actually not that good, imho. It’s carried by the story and vibes, which were more than good enough to capture my attention and spur me on to seek out and read the source manga.
That being said, there aren’t very many good BL anime, because it’s niche and so whenever there’s an adaptation (which is relatively rarely), the resources it gets assigned are usually low, and so production is subpar. Manga is where it’s at.
